No. It has to be addressed to "name@f<f>.n<n>.z<z>.fidonet". But if you receive
 a netmail message on a Synchronet system and you receive/read your mail in an
Internet email program, you just hit "reply" in your Internet email program and
 it uses the address of the sender in the proper format automatically.

I have added common mail sender to my address book so I can just start an email
 to them and not worry about the address or format. If it's Fido netmail, then
it is. I don't even notice.

Yes, assuming SBBSecho is configured to route mail.

No.

If the SciNet node was running the Synchronet mail server, it could receive
mail for "netsurge@f100.n1.z77.fidonet" from an authenticated user and it would
 store it as a FidoNet netmail message and treat it appropriately (sending
direct or routing or whatever) - just as if that user had sent the netmail
message from the BBS.

It does all kinds of outbound gating, but I'm not sure if it does exactly what
you're looking for.

No, it doesn't do that.
